A legal issue
Since the 2005 Disability Act and the General Accessibility Improvement Framework (RGAA), public bodies must guarantee access to their online services for all. This landmark law established the RGAA as the benchmark standard, requiring government departments, local authorities and public institutions to comply with strict accessibility criteria based on international WCAG standards.
In 2025, this obligation will be extended to the private sector with the entry into force of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) on 28 June 2025. This new regulation applies to all companies with more than 10 employees or with a turnover of more than €2 million, covering e-commerce, banking services, transport and mobile applications in particular.
Accessibility statements and multi-year plans are now mandatory, subject to monitoring and penalties. The relevant supervisory authorities, such as the DGCCRF for the private sector and Arcom for the public sector, can now impose penalties of up to £45,000 for non-compliance. Accessibility requirements include the establishment of a contact mechanism, the appointment of an accessibility officer in large organisations, and compliance with best technical practices to ensure access to assistive technologies used by people with disabilities.
Making your content accessible means guaranteeing equal access to information for all audiences. It means recognising that digital access is a fundamental right and that every user, regardless of their abilities, should be able to view, understand and interact with your online services independently and effectively.
A question of image and performance
An accessible website is clearer, more inclusive and better referenced. Digital accessibility is much more than just regulatory compliance: it is a real performance lever for your organisation.
Impact on search engine optimisation (SEO)
Best practices in accessibility naturally converge with the requirements of search engine optimisation. An RGAA-compliant website benefits from semantic HTML structure, alternative text for images, consistent heading hierarchy and clear navigation – all elements that are valued by search engines. Studies show that an accessible website can generate up to 20% more organic traffic, automatically expanding your potential audience.
Strengthening your brand image
In a context where corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming a decisive factor for consumers, employees and partners, digital accessibility sends a strong signal of commitment and reliability. It humanises and lends credibility to your brand image by demonstrating your openness to all audiences and your commitment to ethical and inclusive practices.
Improving the overall user experience
An accessible website improves the experience for all users, not just those with disabilities. Accessibility criteria—sufficient contrast, legible font size, keyboard navigation, optimised loading times—also benefit seniors, users on the move, and those in challenging environments (low bandwidth, bright light).
It is a guarantee of quality, innovation and social responsibility that positions your organisation as a driver of change towards a more inclusive and efficient digital world.
